[figure description] 463EAF. Paste-Down Endpaper with Bookplate: heraldry figure with a green tree on top and shield
below. There is a small gray shield hanging from the branches of the
tree, with three blue figures on that small shield. The tree stands on
a base of gray and black intertwined bars, referred to as a wreath in
heraldic terms. Below the tree is a larger shield, with a black
background, and with three gray, diagonal stripes across it; these
diagonal stripes are referred to as bends in heraldic terms. There are
three gold leaves in line, end-to-end, down the middle of the center
stripe (or bend), with green veins in the leaves. Note that the colors
to which this description refers appear in some renderings of this
bookplate; however, some renderings may appear instead in black, white
and gray tones.[end figure description]
